Hi,

it works not worse than classic mesa on my RV620.

I add --enable-gallium-r600 and modify package_ati-dri-git() in mesa-git PKGBUILD as it is already done for r300

(make -C ${srcdir}/build/src/gallium/targets/dri-r600 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install)

I test current (20101213) git snapshot.

May be put it into testing and enable on next release?

Upstream does not currently advise using this driver. Upstream usually is knowledgeable about this so we should hang on for some more time. Unless, of course, some recent changes have been merged. Did you ask in #radeon? If not, can you do that and inform us about the current state of the driver and whether using gallium for r600 is recommended yet?

I'll probably follow again the Fedora way. They switched in FC Rawhide to Mesa 7.10 snapshots and enabled r600 gallium there. So expect this when we will push new Mesa 7.10 to our repos. Right now we are in a bad situation: With new libdrm 2.4.23 released Mesa 7.9 won't build anymore. Updating to Mesa 7.10 branch is possible but new Xorg 1.10 release candidate will break proprietary NVidia driver. I'll delay these updates for a some time if there's no other solution. -Andy
